day that she took her first really good hop was the day we solidified her name--faith. she is a demonstration of what it looks like to persevere. what it feels like to say, "i can do what i want to do. nothing can stop me." oprah: i love it. i love that. it's one of my favorite stories.

as far as conservation is concerned. >> reporter: this summer's oil disaster in the gulf of mexico is a prime example of how the data will help. nobody could agree on just what effect the bp spill actually had. the census will be a big help. the researchers looked from the arctic to the southern ocean, at everything from whales to plankton, and said the oceans are bursting with life. in the future, when they need to measure trends, they'll know just how the seas really were all the way back in 2010. rob, vinita? >> there is a very cool slide show online. go to abc.com to see more beautiful images. >> or just join us under the sea. we've never had this shot before. now you can see my running shoes, too. >> looking sexy in the sneakers, vinita. very cool. >> thanks. >> more after this, everybody. don't go far.

that was being made was. no one mentioned it. no one paid any attention to it. it was business as usual. a bankruptcy case, a sentencing case. but it may have been ruth bader ginsberg who summed up really what was going on deep down when she said in an interview, when the school children file in and out of the court and they look up and they see three women, then that will seem natural and proper, just how it is. and that's how it was. as for justice kagan, well, she was ready, no question about it. within minutes of the start of .askstn f him. you could sense the whole court looking down at her, almost like ague saying, tha gote she's got her work cut out for her this year.

the nobel prize winner for medicine, dr. robert edwards, in essence has helped father millions of babies. he pioneered in vitro fertilization. >> even though he helped so many couples, the vatican is now blasting his procedure. the bbc reports. >> reporter: her birth was a sensation. louise brown was the world's first test tube baby, here held by dr. robert edwards. headlines at the time described her birth as a miracle. speaking two years ago, professor edwards described the media frenzy at the time. >> the press was chasing me all over bristol in england, secretly. we hid the mother in a car and drove to her mother's house in lincoln. >> reporter: louise brown said she was delighted for professor edwards who has been more than a

doctor to her. >> it's just like -- he's just like close family, like a grandad. i was just so very pleased. and obviously it can't come at a better time. i know he's not very well at the moment. >> reporter: it's here at this clinic that he did much of his early research. this is where professor edwards used to work. the laboratories were different in his day. back then, the idea of fertilizing sperm and egg in a glass dish seemed revolutionary. although we take fertility treatments for granted now, it took 20 years of painstaking research to turn this simple idea into reality. >> it was tremendously important because before the first test tube baby was created, there was no real treatment for infertile couples. and infertility was a taboo subject. people didn't talk about it. they kept it secret if they had a problem. >> reporter: the journey has not been straightforward. in 1983, these sextuplets were

born in liverpool. it was a time when achieving pregnancies was difficult and sometimes resulted in multiple births. over the years, though, it's become a safe and reliable technique. but the vatican, which has always objected to the creation and discarding of human embryos by scientists, has criticized the awarding of the nobel prize to professor edwards. supporters, however, say that the 4 million ivf children born since louise brown are a living testimony to the value of his work. >> and we'll be right back. n n

you know how you need those goofy glasses to watch a 3d movie? not anymore. >> toshiba has introduced the first 3d tv that needs no

glasses. but a pretty steep price tag here. 2,800 bucks for a 20-inch set. it's the future of television. >> reporter: ever since the multibillion-dollar success of james cameron's "avitar," the entertainment and technology worlds have scrambled to capitalize on 3d. >> consumers flocked to see this 3d movie in such numbers that it -- i think it convinced some of these companies that now is the time to start a big marketing push. >> reporter: taking that experience from the movie theater to the living room or on the go isn't necessarily a winning formula, says jason tans. >> going back to the movies is a very different experience from sitting on your couch. when you go to the movies, you may be willing to put on a pair of dorky glasses. if you're home, that may just be too disorienting or it may be another step that you don't want to take. >> reporter: depending on who you talk to, 3d is seeing an

artificial revolution or a natural evolution. either way, the technology that drives it is markedly different from decades ago. >> comparing digital 3d today with the -- the 3d that maybe we remember from being kids and watching with cardboard red and blue glasses, it's transformatively different. digital 3d is a -- is a by-product of computer technology. so computer chips create this incredible precision that creates the 3d picture that's so perfect. >> reporter: the technology may have come a long way, but it's not mainstream yet. that said, it's not just the entertainment industry that's taking notice of 3d's potential. >> i think what we're seeing is that 3d technology is being used by the medical community, doctors are using it in operating rooms, the military is using it to train pilots. and the entertainment industry is using it to entertain audiences all over the world. so this is a technology that's coming and won't be going away. it's coming to every screen you

can imagine. and it will be surrounding us all in a matter of years. >> reporter: certainly the makers of high-tech devices would like us to think so. beyond video games and laptops, a number of companies already make 3d tv sets that are also 2d, from sony to lg. navigating these new viewing waters can be confusing, not to mention pricey for consumers. >> there is a lot of challenges in creating a real comfortable 3d viewing experience at home. first and foremost, we always want to listen to what the customer says and the voice of customers is clear that they want the best picture quality possible. we have to pay a lot of attention to things like color accuracy, picture processing, how the glasses communicate with the screen. >> reporter: right. those glasses. if you're not a fan, well, for now they aren't going away anymore soon. and they've become much more complex, using an infrared

censor to receive the two sets of images from a 3d tv and turn each lens on and off to trick your eyes into seeing the 3d picture. >> those glasses are fairly expensive. you'll drop $2,000, $3,000 for a 3d tv. you can spend upwards of 30, 40, 50% of that price yet again in the cost of glasses. and so the industry is working hard to bring those prices way down. >> reporter: but there are a few ways to get the 3d experience without glasses already. nintendo is preparing to launch its 3d handheld device in march. it will require you to calibrate it for optimal viewing. a company called spatial view is releasing something called 3d slide for iphones and android phones with a screen that you slide over the device to create a 3d experience. there's also limited content for now, but that's an issue facing the entire industry. >> the only people buying 3d televisions rinow ty dedicated early adopters. there are some program -- some programming out there.

espn, for instance, the discovery network is building a 3d -- some 3d programming. but for the most part, this is something to show off to your friends. it's not a part of your everyday life. it's not like i'm going to go home and watch the same 3d dvd i've watched ten times. >> reporter: one of the limitations with even talking about 3d is that we can't exactly show it to you. so it remains one of those things that really has to be seen in person to experience it. the reality is that 3d is nowhere near mainstream. now it remains more of a no thaa ecty. sinc tecies looking for that next big money-maker, there's no chance that the hype will slow down anytime soon. rob and vinita, back to you. >> i think once you go 3d, everything else just falls flat, too. you sort of notice -- >> look at that. oh, yeah. we don't do well 2d. 3d, we look pretty good. >> put your glasses on and we'll jump right out at you. >> it's the middle of the night.

everything is fuzzy anyway. >> here we are. >> back in a minute, everybody. stay with us.

into categories. there was freestyle beard, there was natural beard, and then there was the verde. it was based on the italian composer. so they drew about 150 participants. all of these guys just came basically ready to quaff. they blow dry the beards. they hairspray them, as you can see there. it's quite the event. people actually come out to see this, which is just shocking. >> i believe it. so i rocked the goatee for like six months. it was so hard to maintain. got on my nerves. i don't know how they maintain that. how do you eat? it seems like it would get in the way of stuff. >> they didn't have much maintenance on top to worry about, so they have more time on the bottom. >> they can fo her oh, man. we've all had a bad experience with chewing gum. it's got on your shoe or whatever. you've touched it under a table or something like that.

apparently, there may be a cure coming for all of this. scientists out in britain have now finally figured out a non-sticking gum that dissolved within 24 hours. it has the same taste, the same texture as normal gum, but it gets out of clothes really easily using soap and water. it doesn't stick to the ground and melt. and they're kind of motivated by the gum they found in the streets not only in america, but overseas in engla o t pso wnot potur >ave , bu >> that's cool. this guy is now vying for the title of the dumbest burglar in britain. you thought we only had them here in the u.s. you're wrong. >> and most handsome. oh, i'm sorry. sorry. >> this guy has been jailed for two years and five months. he went to his neighbor's house, stole the curtains and came back to his own house and had the nerve to hang up the curtains. >> yes, indeed. >> it wasn't too hard to find this guy.

in addition to stealing

terror plot. new details about potential overseas targets and why security may tighten here in the u.s. then, truth sleuth. the reporter who uncovered cell phone overcharges, totaling tens of millions of dollars. and food fight. >> i'll put a little bit of everything on your plate. >> advice for parents with extremely picky children. it's tuesday, october 5th. this story about picky eaters is not a child who doesn't want to eat vegetables. this is a child who only eats five things and eats them in succession. it really is a real disorder that's fascinating to see.

>> i can honestly say that's never been a problem of mine, as an adult or a child. >> me neither. >> fascinating story. >> good morning, thanks for being with us on this tuesday, i'm vinita nair. >> i'm rob nelson. fears about an overseas terror plot are really hitting home this morning. security is now being stepped up on the nation's mass transit systems. >> expect law enforcement to be extra vigilant on amtrak trains and all mass transit systems. that is after state department alerts for travelers. john hendren has the latest from washington. good morning, john. >> good morning, rob and vinita. the concern is that al qaeda is allegedly planin- eu but the federal government isn't saying don't go. they're just saying watch out. the european terror alert is driving up security here at home, on mass transit trains and subways across this country, increased security. >> this is an accumulation of

evidence that has been -- of intelligence that has been gathered over the past few months and a decision was made to share to the extent that we could. >> reporter: it began for u.s. travelers bound for europe in something of a mixed message. >> this is not a warning, travel warning, telling people not to go. >> we are -- are saying to american citizens continue with your travel plans. you know, if they include europe. >> reporter: go ahead and travel, the government says. but be careful. >> be cautious and be aware that we are follou k multiple stream i >> reporter: japan ande joined th kingdom monday in issuing a travel alert, cautio travelers about possible terroris commando-style raids like 2008 mumbai attacks. the u.s. warns travelers to take every precaution to be aware of americans are also being urged th amrsm >> perhaps you don't want to walk around with a big american >> reporter: but do

work? angryin wolf, of course people just ignore these warnings and then they have no effect at all. >> reporter: a danger the federal government apparently decided was worth the risk. among the targets are the areas before security screening in at least five major but unnamed european airports. vinita and rob? bomber al sces today here i shahzad admittetjut he tried to blow up a bomb-packed suv in the heart of new york's times square. if successful, the bomb could have killed up to 100 victims. shahzad intended to set off a second bomb if the first had been successful. a gunman went on a rampage in north central florida on monday afternoon. police in gainesville say he drove around town in his truck and fired at random people. at least one person was killed and five were injured in the series of attacks. >> some more people got shot over here by williams elementary school and someone was over here

off of depot. i was scared. >> we were receiving a barrage of people calling. got someone shot here, got someone shot here, got someone shot here. >> the gunman was later found dead. police say he shot himself inside his truck. relatives told investigators the man had a long history of mental illness. it's back to work this morning for a jury in connecticut deliberating the case of a man charged in a deadly home invasion. steven hayes is now facing murder and other charges for the deaths of a mother and her two daughters back in 2007. the jury foreman has told the judge that no verdict is imminent. if hayes is convicted, he could face the death p a new searcs un for a mother who has been miss a tten months in utah. susan powell was reported sg lber she failed to show now a groups begungabad mi for clues in her disappearance. powell's husband has been named a person of interest in her pdince

the federal gov going after the three larg u.s. caries the lawsuit accuses american express, visa and mastercard of anticompetitive practices. it all stems from a dispute over fees merchants have to pay. visa and mastercard have reached settlements in their cases, but amex is fighting the suit, which could take years. some good news for verizon wireless customers. some of refund in theirthly the company agreed to pay out up to $90 million because of overcharges due to hidden fees. here's lisa stark. >> reporter: this is the woman whose eagle eye helped exposed bogus charges on millions of verizon cell phone bills. theresa dixon-murray is a reporter for the "cleveland plain dealer." she is also the mom of two teenagers with cell phones. and something did not seem right with the family's bill. >> i was getting $1.99 a mont charges on usually two out of my three accounts. >> reporter: charges for internet use, but no one was

using the internet. the smoking gun? one of her son's phones was locked up in this cabinet after she took it from him and still the mystery charges appeared. >> i knew absolutely, positively for sure no accidents, no excuses, that -- that this was wrong. and i was absolutely livid. >> reporter: after months of complaining to verizon, she wrote a column and got her money back. thousands contacted her to say they, too, had been had. that was more than a year ago. verizon is just now making good. the company blames this whole mess on a software glitch. but those at the consulting firm run by former cell phone executives say this is likely no isolated incident. >> the carrier is 50, 60 or 90 million customers and charge everybody every month a few extra bucks a month? that adds up to billions in profit. they have every incentive in the world to do it. >> reporter: some chargthat fer handset insurance, roadsid on'ize.

be careful if you signed up for free nights and weekends. some customers have been charged for those supposedly free minutes. one caught it after five years and was owed $2,000. >> you want to make sure that those charges are being credited back to yo bect's shfighryuro c >> rorteo sa always wants to do the righ thi cus but murray calls this too little, too late. >> so do the math. i don't think it's enough. >> reporter: and murray says something she's learned, eye on their bills. lisa stark, abc news, washington. there are some serious new drug allegations against tour de france winner alberto contador. this morning's "the new york times" reports contador had eight times the allowable amount of a certain chemical in this blod. that chemical is called plastic plasticizer. it's found in iv bags, including the ones used for endurance boosting blood transfusions. last week, contador announced he had also tested positive for a

welcome back, everybody. if you haven't heard, there is a legendary cold case that is heating back up. investigators in colorado are re-examining the jonbenet ramsey mystery. >> it's hard to believe it's been 14 years since the little girl's murder. investigators are retracing their steps. clayton sandell reports. >> reporter: investigators are taking a new look at old evidence. reaching out for fresh interviews with witnesses who may help solve the 6-year-old beauty queen's murder. among them, jonbenet's 23-year-old brother, burke. he was only 9 when his sister was killed. the ramsey's attorney told a newspaper that a police detective met with burke and gave him a card and said, if you want to talk to us, here's how you would contact me. it was the day after christmas,

1996, when jonbenet's family discovered she'd vanished. a ransom note left behind. her mother, patsy, called police. >> we have a kidnapping. hurry, please. >> explain to me what's going on, okay? >> there was a -- we have -- there's a note left. our daughter is gone. >> reporter: john ramsey found his daughter's beaten and strangled body in the basement. the family quickly fell under a cloud of suspicion. barbara walters interviewed john ramsey in 2006. >> do you think that there are some people who still think that either you or your wife committed this crime? >> i'm sure there are. i have no doubt of that. because of the massive number and the frequency and the duration of the accusations that were thrown at us. >> reporter: an apparent break. in 2006, a man named john mark karr confesses. >> i love jonbenet. she died accidentally. >> reporter: but his dna wasn't a match and he was never charged. in 2008, the entire ramsey

family was officially cleared. new dna testing supported the theory that an unidentified male intruder entered this home and murdered jonbenet. database searches for a dna match have turned up nothing. and 14 years later, police aren't saying whether they're finally getting any closer to finding out who did it. clayton sandell, abc news, boulder. >> i was working in denver when john mark karr came forward. it was a huge hysteria. to so many people in boulder, the fact that she was a pageant girl, the fact that the family was implicated, it was such a big story. it amazes me that no one has ever been found, but when a possibility comes up, it

all of us know kids can be afraid of almost anything, and they can be picky eaters, too.

what happens when they're actually afraid of eating? >> doctors are calling it food neophobia. it is so serious, some parents are sending their children to eating disorder clinics. here is vicky mabrey. >> i'll put a little bit of everything on your plate. how about plain spaghetti? just pasta? >> no. >> reporter: this is what dinner looks like at the graham house in kansas city. the family dives in. but 7-year-old erin's plate is almost empty. >> are you going to do it? >> reporter: what eric, her father, wants her to do is eat one half of a cherry tomato, but erin won't. erin is not just a picky eater. she's an extremely picky eater. >> just one. we'll do it at the same time. >> no. >> reporter: in fact, erin suffers from what doctors call food neophobia, a virtual fear of food.

that spaghetti she's offered and the cherry tomato, she can barely keep them down. it's a nightly routine at the grahams. her food repertoire consists of about ten items. >> kids love pizza. >> not me. >> what about chicken nuggets? do you love chicken nuggets? >> no. >> hamburgers? >> no. >> hot dogs? >> no. >> no? >> reporter: for some with food neophobia, new foods make them physically ill. >> that's peanut butter and honey. >> reporter: for others it tastes bad. with erin, it's both. that's why her parents and erin are at wits end. they decide to take drastic measures. >> hello. i'm nancy. nice to meet you. >> reporter: by enrolling her at duke university in an intensive

five-day program run by dr. nancy zucker. >> so it's not just like a simple fix like eat this, right? because you've tried that. we're not just talking about i don't like my broccoli and i'm not going to eat my peas. >> reporter: dr. zucker runs the center for eating disorders at duke where they're just starting to study food neophobia. >> can you take me inside the mind of a picky eater? >> my best guess would be where we would look at a plate of food and say, like, oh, look at this lovely food adventure. i wonder what this tastes like? they would look at a plate of food and be like, danger, danger. >> reporter: the first few days focus on the psychology behind erin's eating. testing her anxiety levels. they also evaluate her sense of smell and count her taste buds to see if she's hypersensitive. how do you lead them from eating five foods to eating a range of foods?

>> when kids are not eating properly, it's terrifying for parents. and so what ends up happening inevitably is meals become stressful. >> one, two, three. >> all the work with erin is retraining her experience with food. giving her tools to relax her body, relax her mind and not let her thoughts get in the waif what she does. >> reporter: erin has a goal for the week. she wants to eat pizza, a staple at kids' birthday parties. >> we've done good. >> put this on the salty part of your young. very good. >> reporter: and then her first breakthrough. turkey bacon. >> okay. here's the hard part. use your big teeth and break a little piece off and chew it. just a little piece.

oh, look at that! she's chewing bacon. >> reporter: with dr. zucker's help, erin begins to alter her some of her eating habits. the doctor challenges erin to describe her food visually. she's also encouraged to play with her food. and the whole family is sent to a drumming and dance class to teach them to relax. >> we're looking for three foods. >> reporter: at week's end, it's time for a trip to the local whole foods grocery store. dr. zucker makes shopping a game, picking out hard foods in addition to easy ones. they're working up to erin's goal, that slice of pizza. >> can you describe it? >> it's a triangle. >> oh, nice. >> reporter: remember, the only cheese she's eaten up to now is processed american cheese. the pizza proves to be just a step too far. but it's only been five days of treatment. they've got a lifetime to go, and a lot of foods to try. this i mabn du abotat

it's a scary condition. >> that's heartbreaking. if you are unsure if you child might have this disorder, they say usually if they present symptoms like disliking the food's taste or smell, danger in eating something different or disgust, just open disgust at seeing something. >>elp ou n to.

finally this half hour, did you know that "world news now" has almost 21,000 facebook friends? look at us. that's a lot of loyal viewers out there. >> it's not just our friends and our family anymore. we actually have viewers. of course, to businesses, that is a lot of potential customers. as the bbc reports, companies are trying to get you to accept their friend request. >> reporter: meet a man with more than 40 million mates. well, they're friends of his company, starbucks. which has decided facebook is the best way to have a conversation with its customers.

the coffee chain uses the social network to discuss its services, debate what flavors it should offer, and generally hang out on the web. >> over the last ten years, there's been an erosion of trust with large institutions. and i think that what companies have to do is to engage in a conversation with its customers and that conversation has to be two-way. >> reporter: so companies like starbucks are convinced that the likes of facebook, twitter and youtube provide a whole new way of engaging with their customers. but when things go wrong, they're finding that their customers are also rather good at using these new methods. this summer, comedy videos about bp's efforts to deal with the deepwater horizon spill leaked across the web faster than the oil spread across the gulf of mexico. >> don't worry about. it's a small spill on a very large table. >> reporter: the oil company used everything from twitter to youtube to get its message out,
